This series highlights the highs and lows of hunting public land across different regions of America — the early mornings, the pressure, the competition, and the grind that comes with earning every bird.


In this episode, Jeff and Andy are joined by Tanner Castillo from California. Tanner breaks down the intense pressure he faces from other hunters every time he steps onto public ground, the long list of rules and regulations that come with hunting waterfowl on public land in California, peak time in his area of California, and how his tactics have to evolve as the season wears on.
